Survival was supposed to be in a few releases his Victory Lap but it's finally a Dave East project like the others, and it doesn't get any closer to his best. I've always had a hard time with Dave, because there are always 2/3 things that are frustrating or that have not really interested me in each of his projects. It's the best quality is still his authenticity, his way of doing very good storytelling, his attitude and the fact that he rapes well. R.I.P but it's a bit of a Nipsey Hussle in East Coast version (less well too...). If we come back to Survival, for me he doesn't make the right choices (after all he has NAS as a mentor, he's not the one who knows how to make the best choices either): the album is too long, there are too many tracks to forget, it's hard to see the end; the beginning of the album starts rather well with a sound that sounds New York, then he quickly launches into a kind of really disappointing Trap, which is not coherent. And damn it, this guy is one of the rappers who represents the East side, New York the emerging city of Hip Hop, but nothing is new musically and nothing is excellent here. It's not the only one involved and I think Dave represents and speaks to the people they identify with. But I'm frustrated not to see anymore for years, a rappers who know how to innovate musically and really restore the New York blazon, with everything to tell and make us live. It gives the impression that he had so many great things in NY, that today, like an oil well, which has nothing left to pump.
